Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (Hitachi Content Platform)

  • 64-bit OS. See the Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.

  • When the IT Analytics system collects data from any vendor subsystem, the collection process expects name/value pairs to be in US English, and requires the installation to be done by an Administrator with a US English locale. The server's language version can be non-US English.

  • Supports Amazon Corretto 17. Amazon Corretto is a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK).

  • For performance reasons, do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the IT Analytics Portal. However, if you must have both on the same server, verify that the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory.

  • Install only one Data Collector on a server (or OS instance).

  • Create an HCP system Local user or Active Directory user with specific permissions using the Hitachi Content Platform System Management Console and the Hitachi Content Platform Tenant Management Console. Additional security settings must also be enabled. This enables data collection for HCP namespaces and namespace statistics.
